Day 8 - At Sea - our final day
Today was another lazy day. Highlights: Breakfast, watched Alice Through the Looking Glass, naptime, Bingo, lunch, pool deck, napping, dinner, show, watched Seventeen Again, packed up all our stuff ready for disembarkation.
Well it's been a blast - can't believe that we will be back to reality tomorrow. It certainly has been a week of fun, relaxation and indulgence (food). We shall miss not having to worry about cleaning up, who's cooking or what to cook, picking up after people, and having someone doing everything for us!
That's it from us - the blog has officially come to an end ... until next time ... goodnight!
Will the smelly cone shell pass through customs or will it be confiscated and quarantined?
Have declared that we have shell products on the customs card - we shall see. Over and out.

 |
| Ocean view Cafe etiquette: Today we learned that the drink list sideways let's the waiters know that we have already ordered and received a drink. After the waitress came over at least 3 times and asked us if we needed a drink and each time turning the menu sideways and 10 seconds later Ellie turning it the right way up. (In her defence she was just trying to keep the table tidy) |
